Greetings to you Dan Nave and all Silverlist members,
"
Similia similibus curentur
........
One I travel in the mind,
Where allopathy's left behind.
'Twas Hahnemann, its founder, see,
Who made up potencies -practically free-
Stimulating the vital force,
And healing chronic miasms, of course!
We know he had a prodigious mind
For look at all he left behind.
The man was far from being a bum;
[ The Founder of Homeopathy was stoned and hounded out of his country, Germany
]........
The remedies are tried and true
Through many provings, old and new.
It only takes a little bit,
Though Avogadro can't admit
They actually work quite well
Where no discernible substance dwells.
So much to learn, it's pandemonium,
..... "

Homeopathic Mnemonic

Those who have chosen the lonely path in search for Holistic Truth and Natural
Laws are the proteges of the Universe and these beings are never forgotten by
posterity.
